A 24-year old nursing mother, Yewande Busari was killed when an electric
wire fell on her as she was crossing the ever busy Oshodi express way on
May 6th. Yewande was carrying her baby Pamilerin on her back but
fortunately he survived the electrocution.
According to Sahara reporters, the streetlight pole that caused the
tragedy was said to have been left unattended by PHCN officials at the
Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company.
Speaking on the sad incident, the elder brother to the deceased,
lamented the nonchalance of the government and the electrical company in
charge of the streetlights.
“We have not heard anything from the government or seen anybody from
them since my sister died. It was a government property that killed my
sister, but nobody has come to pay us a visit,” he said
